Read online when lawyers recommend cosponsor even when petitioner makes over minimum required for i864. What is suggested guideline over actual minimum to sponsor? 

My rule of thumb would not be quite that simple, but if current income and at least the most recent full year (not the same number) for an employed person, is 150% of the poverty level or more, probably no need for a joint sponsor.  You'll get a better answer if you get specific about your own situation, instead of generalizing.

Self employment with just 5K over is always tricky @Crazy Cat

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

I made 29k and the minimum is 24k, self employed. Is 5k over enough?

Made is past tense.  What's your current income?

2022 income was 29k, I thought for self employed last tax return was current income? Or do I show a monthly income statement and multiply by 12? I work for uber as a driver and they send monthly statements of earnings 

You never mentioned you were self employed.  For you yes, your total income line on your 2022 tax return is your current income.  If that's 29k, you should be good to go.
